PhDs in Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering at UCL

Study for a PhD

The PhD programme involves 3–4 years (more for part time students) of original research supervised by a senior member of the department. Entrance requirements are a minimum of an upper second-class Bachelor's degree in a relevant discipline from a UK university, or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard. The Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering department is engaged in multi-disciplinary research, so PhD candidates are accepted with qualifications in a variety of disciplines. At any one time the department has around 60-80 PhD students.

Doctoral Training Programmes

Our Doctoral Training Programme in Medical Physicsand Biomedical Engineering provides research training in this diverse andmulti-disciplinary field. The training will involve taught courses in the firstyear as part of an MRes programme followed by a research project for theremainder of the 4 year programme. Students on the programme will form part ofan interactive network of researchers across many disciplines and will benefitfrom the strengths of UCL in the healthcare field.Students entering the programme with aMasters degree in a relevant subject can enter the programme at the second yearand do 3 years of research leading to a PhD.
